Aug. 26, 1939 - New road open at Duck Creek: The south 20 feet of the new roadway west of the Duck Creek bridge, to connect with the three lane pavement between the two quarries, was to be opened to traffic this afternoon, it was announced at the state highway office here this noon.

This will eliminate the need for the weight restrict to 5,000 pounds on the detour around by the county shops, and heavy traffic will no longer be required to travel between Green Bay and Duck Creek via Shawano avenue, Highway 29 and County Trunk AA.

When the new road is completed, it will be 30 feet wide all the way from Green Bay to Dunks' corners, north of Duck Creek, eliminating the two-lane bottleneck that formerly existed at the bridge and through the village.
